It Will Happen Tonight
In Oslo, Thea and Matteo are awaiting the birth of their child. Meanwhile, in Mumbai, Charles asks Greta to marry him in public. Seven years later, in Rome, Matteo is playing tennis when Greta shows up for a match, dressed as a bride. For him it's love at first sight, but she's just married. Life goes on, yet Matteo cannot forget Greta. Seven years later, they meet again by chance; both are married and have children with other people. Love always brings them together at the wrong time. Loosely based on the short story collection "Legami" by Eshkol Nevo.
